Also on Wednesday, an online petition was launched urging the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to add Jones to the Oscars' "In Memoriam" segment during Sunday's show. The Academy hasn't responded publicly.

Thursday night, The Vampire Diariespaid an emotional tribute to Jones by dedicating its latest episode to her memory. Jones worked on the CW series in 2012. A photograph of Jones was shown as a tribute text scrolled across the screen.
